Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate Olatunde Kayode, popularly known as Rooboy, has emerged as the new Head of House (HoH) for Week Five, unseating reigning champion Jason Jae in a gripping challenge on Monday, August 25, 2025.
The dramatic showdown, part of Big Brother’s revamped HoH Challenger Exercise, saw Rooboy outmaneuver Jason Jae and other contenders, including Kulture, Dede, and Koyin, to claim the coveted title.
The challenge, themed “Face Your Fears,” tested the housemates’ resilience and speed. Jason Jae, who secured the interim HoH title on Sunday, August 24, 2025, after a multi-stage contest, faced a fierce battle to retain his crown.
Having chosen Rooboy, Kulture, Dede, and Koyin as his opponents, Jason advanced through the initial slide-and-unlock game alongside Kulture and Rooboy.
However, Rooboy clinched victory by retrieving the badge first, earning his first HoH title of the season.As the new HoH, Rooboy gains immunity from eviction nominations, exclusive access to the luxurious HoH lounge, and the power to influence house dynamics for the week.
In a notable move, he selected Zita as his deputy and house guest, a decision that sparked buzz among housemates and fans alike, especially since Zita had chosen him as her deputy during her Week Four HoH tenure.
Big Brother quipped, “The landlady has become the tenant, and the tenant has become the landlord,” highlighting the shift in power.
Rooboy’s win follows his recognition as the “Most Influential Player” in Week Two, underscoring his growing strategic presence in the house.
Meanwhile, Jason Jae, a two-time HoH and Week Three’s “Most Influential Player,” now faces the uncertainty of potential eviction nominations without immunity.
